Wine Review: "Kudos to Gallo for letting people know this wine is sweet. That avoids a lot of confusion. The honey, tangerine and peach flavors are balanced with lots of zesty acidity. Delightful, and a great bargain." Unanimous (9/1/2011) - 85
Wine Folly: Pg 159 Riesling in general—Riesling can "Range in style from bone-dry to very sweet," along with other primary flavors: lime, green apple, and beeswax. It also mentioned "high atomic intensity." The bottle I tasted was definitely more on the sweet side, bringing out that apple and lime taste with it. Along with this, the aroma of the wine was a powerful and sweet smell
My Review: It was really good! I'd describe it as almost a more refined apple cider with sweetness and high acidity. It also had an almost buttery addition to it which was nice. Regarding the wine reviewer's point of view, I didn't notice any tangerine or peach flavoring to it but the main fruitiness taste with the acidity as if you were eating an apple was definitely there.
I tasted this on its own with no food.
